BUSHELS OF LETTERS
Thousands Are Telling Rockefeller How to Get New Stomach—His Secretaries Kept Busy..
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 2ft.—John Rockefeller's secretary is said to be kept a reward for the man who sent out the story that he would "give $1,000,000 for a new stomach." Since that Item appeared in the press his mail consists largely of recipes of how to secure, a new stomach. A bushel of letters are received every day addressed to him at the Hotel Brighton, in this city. He is now at Lakewood. The hotel clerks are working overtime, readdressing the mail to Lakewood, and Mr. Rocekefeller's secretary is said to be kept busy.
What the contents of the letters are can only be surmised. Most of them are marked on the outside, "Personal," "Kxtra Personal." "The Addressee Only." "Mr. Rockefeller in Person." "Helping to Save a Human Life." The contents contain "home cures," "herb treatments" "diets never heard of before" and new discoveries. letters are postmarked from every state in the Union. Some are postal cards and they have told the millionaire thai?' they do not want any money in case a cure was effected. They only sent him the remedy to help him secure a recovery l'roni his ailment.
PECULIAR REVENGE
John Steuble After Introducing His Wife's Defamers Shot Them as They Clasped Hands.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—The cause of the tragic crime of John Steuble, who shot two of his friend's Saturday as they were clasping hands just after Steuble had introduced them, has been learned from a letter left by Steuble.
In the letter Steuble intimates that John Ttlair. the grocery man whom he killed anci Anthony Seitz who is fatally wounded, had slandered his wife, who has been "dead nearly ten years. The letter further .states it was the writer's intention to get square with the men before he died'. It appears that while Steuble knew both Blair and Seitz. for many years, the two last named had never met. Steuble managed to bring the men together Saturday and then shot both. He committed suicide when he thought both men were dead.

An Old Philadelphia Physician Tells the Truth About It.
A physician of Philadelphia, of many years practice, during which time lie has carefully watched the effects of coffee drinking upon his patients, writes: "During my practice in Philadelphia, I have had many serious cases of stomach, kidney and liver disorders which I have traced to the use of coffee. "Last year a fellow physician called by attention to the merits of Postum in the place of coffee. In many severe cases of torpid liver, various kidney diseases. etc., since then I Jtave forbidden the use of coffee and prescribed Postum. "In many cases the results were almost miraculous and in all there was marked improvement due solely to the use of Postum in the place of coffee. "If you wish it I will furnish you the jinnies of my patients so cured. "Owing to the feeling that exists among the medical fraternity against physicians using the columns of the papers to advertise themselves, I request that you. withhold my name, but you may refer any inquiries to me."

A
SOCIALIST SPEAKING
LOCAL MEMBERS MAKE PLANS TO ENTERTAIN CAREY
HE IS A PROMINENT MEMBER
Orator Who Will Be Heard Here on Wednesday Night, Has Had Unusual Honors.
One of the most widely circulated pamphlets on labor questions is the speech made in the Massachusetts legislature by James P. Carey, who speaks here Wednesday night. Air. Carey is a Haverhill shoemaker, elected to the legisture on the Socialist ticket. He. had introduced a bill to raise tlie age limit for child'ren working in factories to Hi years. The opponents of the bill attempted to spring a surprise by having the bill advanced on the calendar and acting upon it before its author could prepare a speech. This was during Mr. Carey's first term and they were not aware of his ability as an impromptu speaker. When the bill was called up he had had no preparation, but he made a speech that was published in full in all the daily papers and cut down the majority against the passage of the act to s-uch an extent that its opponents did not know whether they had won or lost until the roll call was finished. Mr. Carey is now serving his fifth term in the legislature and is one of three Socialists in that body this year. He is also national committeeman of the Socialist party, and stops off here Wednesday en route to St. Louis to attend the annual meeting of the national committee.

The Alabama Office Hunters Will Try To Rescind Action of State Convention.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 26.—The leading Republicans of Alabama have determined to oppose the renomination of Roosevelt for president. They have launched a boom for Hanna which has strong backing. For some time a movement has been on foot to have the state Republican convention reconvened for the purpose of rescinding its action in indorsing Roosevelt for the nomination in 1004. W. J. Davidson, who was the chairman of this convention, has letters from Republicans all over the state asking him to reconvene the convention, but not until this time has he announced his views upon the matter. He states that if Mr. Wellman. chairman of the state executive committee, will ask the committee to meet, which he seems disposed to do, he (Davidson) will send out a call for the state convention to reassemble.
PEST HOUSE BURNS
Forty-Four Smallpox Patients Suffer the Rigors of a Maine Winter.
BIDDEFORD, Me.. Jan. 2fi.—A smallpox hospital established by the city on a farm in the outskirts was burned yesterday. There were 44 persons in it, including a. superintendent and four attendants. ^A c.onvalsecent patient, thinly clad, walked a mile to the city and personally notified tho police.
The other patients made beds in the snow for the sick inmates until a house could be vacated nearby and turned over to the authorities. The patients wiere out in the cold and hour and a half before a place could be found for them. They were poorly clad and there was much suffering.
SAME OLD STORY
Another Fool Who Didn't Know It Was Loaded Ends a Young Friend's Life.
HUNTINGTON, Va„ Jan. 26.—Harry Smith, 15, walked up to Arthur Nickles, a companion today, and placing one arm about his shoulders, pulled a revolver from his pocket with his other hand and laughingly remarked that he was going to shoot, him in the mouth. "Your marksmanship si not good enough," replied Nickles. The gun was discharged and the bullet entered the mouth and lodged in the brain. Nickles soon expired. Smith's only excuse was that he thought the revolver was empty.
The Delaware Deadlock.
DOVER, Del., Jan. 26.—Senator Hanna, the Republican national chairman, who last week sent a telegram to the outstanding ten regular Republicans advising them against dividing the Delaware senatorships with the Democrats, Is expected to come to Dover soon with other Republican leaders to try to arrange a compromise. A conference with the regular will held without any of the Addicks men being present. Then the national committeemen, it is said, will conconfer with the 21 Addicks men to see if some concessions may not be made.

Cave-In on Miners.
POTTSVILiLE, Pa:, Jan. 20.—Rescuing gangs worked strenuously at the Brookwood 'colliery Sunday to save three men who were entombed in the mine by a rush of clay. It was thought the men were killed, but when the rescuing gang reached them the imprisoned men were eating dinner. They did not know they were imprisoned, the silent rush of clay giving them no notice that they were cut off from tho outside world.

RAILROADS RUSHED
Motive Power Concentrated Here to Assist in Relieving the Freight Congestion.
The freight business of the different roads in Terre Haute has become an elephant on their hands and is well night crushing them. The Yandalia. the C. and E. I. and the Big Four are the systems that are mostly affected and they are all in bad shape. The E. and T. H. and Southern Indiana are making every effort to assist the other roads out of their difficulty by lending tlieni crews and engines.
The Yandalia is making the most heroic efforts of any of the roads to move its freight. Today all the local trains were cancelled and almost the entire motive power of the Peoria and main line division was concentrated here for wie purpose of relieving the situation. All yesterday this work went on and it continued all day today.
For the C. and E. I. the S. T. hauled five trains to Danville yesterday and today they will again aid in getting out two more trains for them.
The Big Four has over four hundred cars on its tracks, most of them loaded with the much-needed coal for the gas belt. Only through the greater efforts, however, of the employes is any attempt being made to move this freight.. The company has not furnished any extra engines, and it is not known yet whether or not they can.
The Penn's Track Improvements. First Yice President John P. Green of the Pennsylvania railroad has issued a statement in which he says that the $35,000,000 negotiated in Now York is for immediate use in carrying on the construction work now under way and planned on the Pennsylvania lines. The loan is temporary, pending the authorization of the increase in capital to be asked of the stockholders at the annual meeting in March.
The proposed construction work is necessary, the statement says, in order to relieve the traffic congestion both east and west of Pittsburg.
No Printing Plants for the Penn. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has no intention of establishing plants :n Philadelphia and Pittsburg at which thn company's printing is to be done as one of the Pittsburg papers has reported. Replying to an inquiry by trie Kailway Age a general officer of the company writes: "It is not the intention of the management of this company to erect any such plants. As you can well appreciate it would involve an enormous undertaking should a railroad'company decide to do its own printing in its own plant."
Walsh Will Not Buy E. & T. H. It may be stated with authority that John R. Walsh has no intention of buying either the E. and T. H. or E. and I., notwithstanding the reports that the announcement of the Southern Indiana stockholders that the Evansville extension would be built, was made for the purpose of acquiring either of the roads connecting the two cities at a low price.
Railroad Notes.
The Mattoon, 111., officers have succeeded in breaking up a gang of boys who have been robbing freight cars of the Big Four Railroad company. Several boys have been arrested and will be prosecuted severely.

CAR WORKERS' BACK
WILL TRY READING'S METHODS FOR A' TIME
PEACE WAS ADJUSTED TODAY
No Men Were Discharged and They Themselves Are Not Disposed To Cause Trouble.
Peace has been made at the car works and the men are again regularly at their places and at work. The meeting Saturday night of the car workers, according to a statement of a committee appointed to confer with the various papers, resulted in a committee being appointed to present to Manager Cox resolutions tending to the straightening out of the difficulty. The action of the men this morning indicates that the resolutions were nothing more than a declaration of their decision to continue at their work.
What the grievances which were brought up before the committee really were could not be learned farther than that the men were dissatisfied with Mr. Heading, and that a contemplated change in the manner of working was being tried'. Several of the more radical were in favor of making a demand that these difficulties be straightened out, while others of the conservative members, thought that it would be best to give the new system of working a trial before resorting to arbitrary measures. The latter faction prevailed and when the whistle blew this morning all the. men were at their work, and a committee composed of John Snyder, Jeff Lintz and Tom Hazard waited on Mr. Cox and made known to him the decision of the men to go to work and continue till it might be seen how the new methods would work out. Concerning Mr. Reading, nothing whatever was said.
Whether this adjustment of the matter is final or not cannot be known until the problem works out itself. But a better understanding now exists between the employes and employers, and the lack of harmony, which has for some time existed, is through the frank discussion of the subject bj* the two bodies, almost sure to insure greater peace.
Hoopingarner's trial was postponed until Wednesday.
DESPERADO MEETS DEATH
An Alabama Bad Man Meets a Fitting Finish in a Tennessee Town.
MIDDLEBORO, Ky., Jan. 2C.-Henry Cummings, an Alabaman, met death here Sunday morning from abuscade while James Adley Turney, his comrade, was mortally wounded. The men who fired the fatal shots are unknown. Although the tragedy occurred in the heart of Middlesboro, no one witnessed it*. It is the general supposition, however, that one of Cummings' old enemies took his life. He was shot three times.
Cummings was reputed to have slain nine men in Alabama, where he was a convict. He is also said to have slain three or four Tennessee negroes and two years ago, John Gounam, a labor agitator, met death at his hands. Later he killed Greenwood Ward, who was a witness against him at the old "quarterhouse," and here a few months ago he shot and killed Brans A. Emil.

At a Salvation army revival meeting last week Coombes was converted, and lie has an nounced his intention of going into court and asking that he be sentenced for his crime. To the mother of the boy he shot he has deeded his home here, and has promised her that if he is n.ot made to pay the penalty of his crime, he will pay her $20 a month as long as he lives.
WINTER SNAKE STORY
Charleston, S. C., is Terrified by a Cobra with an Appetite for Dogs, •Cats and Negro Babies.
CHARLESTON, S. C., Jan. 26.—A cobra snake, 20 feet long, escaped from Sells circus while playing at "Charleston in October, and since then has terrorized hundreds of negro families. Several times the reptile entered shanties and routed the occupants. It killed dogs, cats and chickens and frequently chased negro babies. It was seen late yesterday near the.city boundary and after desultory fighting was driven to its den with volleys of stones. An hour later its career was ended with a load of buckshot. There were fourteen wriggling serpents just born in the den and these were promptly slaughtered.
Burning Beer Kegs.
One, of the minor, but picturesque, results in New York of the coal strike is the disappearance from circulation of large numbers of beer kegs and packing cases. Heretofore the brewers have not found it necessary to insure the return of the empty kegs after the saloonkeepers have disposed of their contents, but since the present scarcity of fuel has arisen the temptation, to keep the kegs and break them up to make fires is said to be too strong to be always resisted. Beer kegs make good fires. They are built of oak and are coated inside with pitch to make them airtight and wrhen split up and used for fuel they will roast a turkey or warm a hot water radiator with the best anthracite that ever came from a mine. To prevent this convenient but somewhat irregular use being made of the kegs, brewers in New York and other cities are preparing to take extra precautions to insure the return of their property.

GRISWOLD HELPS
Former Tribune Artist Draws Sketches of Mine Disaster. The Tribune desires to express publicly its obligation to Mr. Bert J. Griswold. formerly artist for The Tribune, and now holding the same position on the Fort Wayne News, for his very kind assistance in preparing the sketches which are presented today in connection with tlie story of the mine disaster at West Terre Haute. He and his wife have been visiting in the city for several days and upon learning of the disaster he volunteered his services in the preparation of the account for this newspaper. It is confidently believed that the readers of The Tribune will be pleased to see Mr. Griswold's work again, as it will recall to many of them, one of the most interesting, entertaining and valuable newspaper features the city has ever had.
LIGHT AND OUR "EYES
Failing Eyesight Not a Result of the Civilization. Recently it was noticed the newspaperisli delusion that failing eyesight is a result of civilization, and that the proof of this is the increased use of spectacles. It was said that the saffron-colored medical journels would, soon be echoing this nonsense. This has come tine, and we now read in our contemporaries that "failing eyesight is the deplorable and unavoiable concomitant feature of adanced civilization," tliat the habit of wearing glasses is the proof of this, a habit growing not only in Germany, but all over the world, and that gas and. electric light have much to do with this eye-sight failure, possible, also, dust and

fog, and dtraveling underground. The cure advocated is that "an individual should avoid poring over small print by artificial light, except when absolutely necessary." Poor newspaperdom. To write without thinking, witout any knowledge of te facts and dwitout seeking any knowledge, is so eaesy tat, in the stilted language quoted, it seems "a deplorable but unavoidable concomitant feature of advanced civilization."' A little time ago this same writer explained that the ill-health of Carlyle was due to "the unsanitary, and secjentary existence he led." He did not care to learn that Carlyle's "existence" was not insanitary and absolutely not sedentaray, because he exercised in the open air the greater part of the waking portion of every day. In the same way our contemporary advises the use of the rushlights and tallow dips of our ancestors instead of our superior gas and electric lights. Spectacles, we may add, are not a proof of failing eyesight, as there is no scientific proof whatsoever that the eyesight of civilized people is failing, and there is every reason to believe that it is improving. If there were proof of failing eyesight, the cure for it is not to "aavoid the poring'' but to get proper spectacles for the "porer."

Strike at Mattoon. ,,
Because the foreman of the Big Four railroad shops at Mattoon had trouble with an employe named Kinney and discharged the man, the entire force of machinists at the shops went out on strike yesterday. The strike lasted just 20 minutes, as the foreman gave in. Kinney then resigned. The other eraployes are working as usual today.
